Vinous gave a notably higher score of 95+, highlighting its elegance and refinement. Antonio Galloni of Vinous describes the 2011 Estate Cuvee as "a drop-dead gorgeous beauty," with aromas of sweet tobacco, wildflowers, mint, licorice, and fennel. He appreciates its fragrance and perfumed nature compared to other vintages and commends its clean, saline-supported striking finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate provides a more moderate review with a score of 90. The review characterizes the wine as soft, round, and charming, likening it to a Pessac-Leognan style due to its earthiness and sweet currant fruit. The publication notes roasted herb flavors and recommends enjoying it over the next decade to appreciate its round, juicy finish.

Overall, the 2011 Kapcsandy Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Cuvee is recognized for its combination of fruit-forward flavors and refined elegance. With a blend that leans heavily on Merlot, it presents a unique profile among Napa wines, drawing praise for its fragrance and complexity.
